C vs. C++ vs. ...C vs. C++ vs. ...Posted Jul 4, 2012 18:30 UTC (Wed) by jwakely (subscriber, #60262)In reply to: C vs. C++ vs. ... by andresfreund Parent article: Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar)
1) I never claimed it had to work, my point is that extern "C" does not mean "cannot throw".
2) It doesn't _have_ to work, but it can work (which would make it closer to implementation-defined or conditionally-supported, not undefined) and does with (at least) GCC, Clang and Solaris CC. There's even a cross-platform standard describing it. For a nice overview of the "personalities" that are used to support mixed-language exceptions to propagate through call frames using different languages see http://llvm.org/docs/ExceptionHandling.html
